Nobeyama毫米波阵列对射电叶螺旋星系NGC 3079进行了高分辨率的12 CO （J=1-0）观测，显示出一个密集的、刚性旋转的分子气体环，半径为750pc。此外，还有一个分子分量从长轴倾斜40°，与VLBI射流方向对齐。这个倾斜的部分没有显示出明显的旋转或膨胀/收缩，被解释为分子气体，它被核射流加速出了平面
High-resolution 12 CO (J=1-0) observations of the radio lobe spiral galaxy NGC 3079 using the Nobeyama Millimeter-Wave Array show a dense, rigidly rotating ring of molecular gas with a radius of 750 pc. In addition, there is a molecular component which is tilted by 40° from the major axis and is aligned with the direction of the VLBI jet. This tilted component shows no appreciable rotation or expansion/contraction and is interpreted as molecular gas which is being accelerated out of the plane by the nuclear jet
